Social-media postings helped city police find the man who allegedly vandalized a local charter yacht.

George Schneider, 27, of Delray Beach was arrested Tuesday on two counts of burglary and one count of criminal mischief. He was released from the Palm Beach County Jail Wednesday under supervision, records show.

Police say Schneider vandalized the Lady Atlantic, a charter yacht that sails on the Intracoastal and is available to the public for sightseeing tours and party events. The Lady Atlantic and the Lady Delray are owned by Delray Yacht Cruises and are docked just north of Atlantic Avenue at Veterans Park.

A posting on the Lady Atlantic’s Facebook page April 17 asked the public to identify the man by showing a picture taken by a surveillance camera.

“Anyone know this fine gentleman who tried to untie both of our boats at 1:50 a.m. this morning?” the posting said. The man, later identified as Schneider, allegedly threw ashtrays, buoys and fenders in the water after not being able to untie the yachts.

City police on April 18 posted the same surveillance photo on their Facebook page also asking for the public to identify him.

“Do you know this person? He was captured on video vandalizing the Lady Atlantic,” the posting says.

After hearing that Schneider was arrested, employees of the Lady Atlantic Wednesday took to Facebook again and thanked the police.

“The Delray Beach Police did a great job in processing the information we forwarded to them and an arrest was made last night,” the posting said.
